The moment came as the 25-year-old Grande performed (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman at the funeral for the icon, which was attended by other prominent figures, such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who were seated near Bill Clinton, 72. But it was Bill Clinton’s supposed wandering eyes that sparked the Internet’s ire.

Aretha’s funeral was held at the Detroit’s Greater Grace Temple on Friday, August 31, 2018, capping days of mourning for the legend, who passed away from pancreatic cancer on August 16, 2018. The day before the funeral, fans had a chance to pay their respects to Franklin before her gold casket at Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit.

“The optics of this photo is a tad bit creepy… This is not appreciation for skill or talent this is just base lust, & we still celebrate that in our culture. Why? Should we celebrate and publicize our baser instincts…. it’s unseemly & what was once shamed is no longer!” wrote another upset woman on social media.

“Please keep Bill Clinton away from Ariana Grande,” wrote a man on Twitter, of the notoriously womanizing ex-president. Wrote another man: “Gross… Watch Bill Clinton look Ariana Grande up and down when she sings at #ArethaFranklinFuneral and try not to throw up in your mouth. 🤮”

“He’s looking at the performer and smiling. Like most of the rest of the audience,” wrote another. Opined another man, “If Ariana Grande was singing 3 feet away from me I’d be checking her out up and down way more than Bill Clinton did. I thought the man was reserved honestly. I give him credit.”
